He rounded out his NBA career in 2002 with his
hometown Memphis Grizzlies for whom he played
just two games.

Perry is also known as "Socks" because of the high long socks he
wore during his NBA career. A quick and slashing player in college,
his ability to alter his shot in mid-air to draw a foul from his
defender made him very dangerous to defend. Lack of quality
supporting players forced Perry to carry the U of M team on his
skill. During his senior year Anfernee Hardaway
had been scheduled to be his teammate, but Hardaway's academic
qualifying woes ensured he was red-shirted, and these two never
were able to team up.

baby together. He still loves to play basketball with former
players and kids in his neighborhood, and is active as a mentor
